This is essentially the story of Lee Do, a man with a tragic past who became an exceptional soldier (and killer), but later chose to continue his career away from high-risk zones and firearms. The plot revolves around guns becoming increasingly accessible to Korean citizens secretly, showing different motivations: someone struggling with mental illness and pushed around, a grieving parent who never got justice for their child, a bullied student, a sexual offender seeking revenge on the police, and more.

Case by case, Lee Do unravels the threads, tracing them back to uncover where it all began, or from who. Overall, it’s a solid thriller with good pacing. However, the ending felt anticlimactic, we never learn what happened to the antagonist, and it’s clear that the forces behind him still intend to spread guns nationwide in Korea. In the end, very little is resolved, and the final episode lacked tension to the point that I watched it at 2x speed.

It seems to be hinting at a second season, though honestly, they could have wrapped it up in this one, or at least within 12 episodes. So, I do recommend, it has good scenes but do not expect a pay-off.
